Interesting dial, but I think I would much prefer to have and wear your GMT 1675.

In my opinion Kyle, you should be happy with the GMT. I like it way better than the Explorer. If you feel you must, begin the saving process over again for the next grail. The hunt is half the fun.

I'm really happy with the GMT, I don't think it will be going anywhere anytime soon. Maybe one day I will trade in my 114270 + something else for a 1016, I love the old Explorers .

Nice, but FWIW I wouldn't trade your 1675 either. I've learned that something better always comes up.

I vote for the 1675 too. The only thing nicer than that IMHO is a 1680 or 5513.
